Life and Career Skills

Life and career skills are an important aspect of each student’s daily schedule. At Banyan, students will acquire the skills necessary to allow them to live independently. Each student has a Structured Learning Experience (SLE), which is an unpaid internship at a local business. This work experience allows the student to gain essential knowledge and competencies to be successful in the workplace. Our students learn the importance of getting to work on time, how to dress for business, how to speak with customers, how to maintain a professional relationship with an employer, and more!
